For over 3,000 years, generations of Tongans have been awed by the legendary health benefits of the wonderous sea plant known as LImu. Harvested from pristine waters, Limu has been used as a staple int eh Tongan daily diet and in folk medicine to treat a number of ailments.
Somewhere around 1,000 B.C., when Polynesian explorers from Fiji first reached the South Pacific Islands of Tonga, they encountered an unusual sea plant they named Limu. Nourished by the virgin ocean waters, Limu grew profusely, as it still does today.
Upon discovering the life-enhancing benefits of this amazing new food, the native Tongans came to regard LImu as their ocean's most precious gift, making it an essential part of their diet. Folk healers used it to treat a litanyof conditions including intestinal woes, infections, skin problems, as poultices on cuts and abrasions, and overall well-being. Natives revered the plant as their secret to good health and vitality. Harvesting it became a time-honored tradition. Tongans have a saying that "The key to nofo fiefia (living happily) is Limu."
